Weight loss isn’t just about dieting. Yes, you can lose weight with diet alone but unless you exercise and train regularly in the UAE your weight loss will fluctuate. Diet (nutrition) alone means you won’t be increasing your fitness levels and you won’t be toning your body which can lead to muscle loss and sagging skin.
Combining a great diet and nutrition program with exercise ensures you are getting the best of both. You’ll be losing weight faster thanks to your increased activity and you’ll be improving your appearance through targeted body toning exercises.
So, with that in mind what are some of the best exercises methods for weight loss in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah?
Interval training, also known as High Intensity Interval Training is a form of exercise which can improve cardio performance and also help you get a full body workout which can lead to excellent results when it comes to weight loss. You alternate intensive and often short periods of anaerobic exercise with less intense recovery times until you are basically exhausted.
As well as cardio, HIIT programs can also be used with weights for increased body toning.
How does HIIT help you lose weight?
When you do HIIT training you are effectively forcing your body to use energy from fat instead of carbs. What this means is that you are losing fat more rapidly and your body will stay in this fat burning mode even after your workout has finished. Some HIIT training experts believe that fat burning can continue for up to 24 hours are your workout. Ultimately this means the more fat your burn the more fat you will lose.
What kind of routines are used in a HIIT training session for weight loss?
There is no set HIIT routine because HIIT can include many different exercises and machines. You can design your own HIIT workouts of get one designed for you by a male or female personal trainer in the UAE.
As an example, the following are effective fat burning exercises, which, ultimately can lead to weight loss.
How much weight can I lose by doing HIIT exercises?
HIIT is a proven way to lose weight by burning fat. According to an article on Healthline HIIT can help fat loss for adults who are overweight and obese. Over a 12 week period one study found that by doing HIIT 3 times per week for 20 minutes per day the average weight loss was 2 kg after 12 weeks.
Interestingly this study was done without any dietary changes which ultimately means weight loss results could possibly be increased when you factor in a healthy diet program too.
Many men and women in the UAE are mistaken by thinking that weight training is only used to increase muscle. Likewise, many women are concerned that lifting weights will make them become too bulky. This simply isn’t the case.

Weight lifting for weight loss is ideal because resistance training is proven to provide results. Also, weight lifting helps to burn fat even after your workout has finished.
How does weight lifting help you lose weight?
To start with, weight lifting is a type of resistance training. But, with any kind of resistance training in order to lose weight effectively you need to also be in a calorie deficit.
